Chocolate Cherry Cream Pie
A no-bake pie blending softened cream cheese with powdered sugar into a creamy base. Cherry preserves swapped in for pie filling, folded with whipped topping and a quarter cup of mini chocolate chips stirred throughout. Spread thickly into a cocoa cookie crust. Chilled for several hours until firm yet scoopable. Dollops of whipped cream and leftover chips finish it with a cool, sweet pop. A splash of brandied cherries amps the garnish. The sweet tang of cream cheese paired with chocolate and cherries delivers layered textures. Watch for creamy thickness before chilling. Blending rather than overmixing keeps the filling airy. Refrigeration time slightly flexed.
